What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

Researchers are testing fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. They will compare stool from healthy Han donors with stool from healthy Dai donors, a Yunnan ethnic group with distinct diets, to see if donor background affects remission. Two hundred adults with left-sided ulcerative colitis will receive three FMT infusions through an endoscope over about a week. The team will measure clinical and endoscopic remission at 12 weeks and analyze gut bacteria and metabolites to find what drives any benefit.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) using stool from healthy donors
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help doctors choose the best stool donors for ulcerative colitis and point toward personalized gut-bacteria treatments.
What could go wrong
FMT is still experimental for ulcerative colitis, and results may not hold up in larger or more diverse groups. Transplants carry small risks of infection and digestive side effects.
